    Current state of Russian RPGs (with screenshots)

    :decline: Do you know what happened, though? Is it just the gamedev or a sign of general changes in gaming culture and the country going the Chinese way? I always thought The Empire of Evil was firmly on the :incline: hardcore PC-gaming side and relatively immune to Decline - which should keep...

    KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance Pre-Release Thread [RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Yeah, I'm afraid he's accidentally trolled himself as that is how Czech kind of looks like:P We, on the contrary, can into vowels, sometimes we must even alter Czech names (Plzeň->Pilzno) as otherwise our Potato mouths would be clueless how to pronounce it:P Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz Franek...

    KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance Pre-Release Thread [RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Well, I wasn't aiming at 1000%_realism-wanking here either, I just think using different languages would be a good way to spice up the game, to make gamers sink into its atmosphere better. In the English version of The Witcher, as far as I'm aware, this was done by using different accents and...

    KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance Pre-Release Thread [RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Correct me if I'm wrong*, but wasn't it that after 1620 the Czech language was progressively pushed back into villages and when the Czech National Revival became a thing in the 19th century, the "revivalists" discovered that the language, charming as it may be, cannot serve the needs of a modern...

    KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance Pre-Release Thread [RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    This kind of sucks, full voice acting always restricts you a lot in an RPG, especially if you don't have anything resembling a bloated budget. BTW I've read this article forum.kingdomcomerpg.com/t/poll-voiceovers-accents-and-archaic-language/22700 but have they already decided how the languages...

    M.Iwiński (CDP co-owner) retrospective on the Witcher series history

    I'm afraid they're not gonna provide the transcriptions:/ But if you have time to watch/listen, you can check out other speeches and discussions. Not only from Polish developers but also the likes of ineXile or Obsidian. Seeing Brian Fargo coming to Cracow as a guy who, well, also makes RPGs...

    CDProjektRed games have strong scripts. How do they localize?

    Not matter how well done the translation may be, the Witcher is still way better enjoyed when you're fluid in Polish language and culture. No, according to what they say it's the other way around: http://wyborcza.pl/1,75475,17909240,Geralt_odejdzie_niepokonany___Wiedzmin_3__ostatnia.html...

    WOW, they managed to make the controls even WORSE

    TBH I think it's much better than TW2, which of course doesn't mean it's anywhere near "good enough". But from what I've seen the people who have the biggest problem with Geralt's movement are constantly sprinting - try walking for a change and it gets much better. Yeah, they should make a...

    M.Iwiński (CDP co-owner) retrospective on the Witcher series history

    Quite interesting. Apparently it was Matt Finley from Interplay/inexile himself who personally convinced them to start developing games. It's also quite funny when he talk about how they first started making The Witcher simply as big RPG and Witcher fans who were full of ambitions but had no...

    Crispy's (Mostly Technical) Initial Impressions™ of The Witcher 3

    How do you insert a (vertical:P) slice of a city into 3D open-world RPG? It just wouldn't feel right. Well I guess this just comes down to different tastes. I don't mind and find it quite natural that most of the people neither want to speak with me nor have anything interesting to tell. I...

    Crispy's (Mostly Technical) Initial Impressions™ of The Witcher 3

    So you'd rather have an enpty Novigrad with ~25 people living inside? Or a city that actualy tries to look like "the capital of the world" with majority of its citizens taking care of their own business and neither willing to talk with Geralt nor really having anything to say? Yes, it may be...

    Crispy's (Mostly Technical) Initial Impressions™ of The Witcher 3

    How would you expect everyone to be talkable without 90% of the NPCs being copypastes of one another? If you want the world that looks alive, i.e there are thousands of NPCs around you can surely expect that most of them would not have their own handcrafted multi-branched script lines?

    Gwent is fucking Condottieri for 2

    It'd be funny if they started collecting more by microtransaction than by selling the actual game:D I thought the whole idea behind it was "gotta catch'em all" to favor and reward exploring?

    Quite desperate attempt at translating "wkradł się chochlik" anyone?
